Although edition 19 has yet to end, Hexelbourg has already decided to kick off its process
in selecting their representatives for the 20th anniversary edition.
Hexelbourg has mostly chosen its candidates through internal selections, but this time
they'll make it into a public one as well to celebrate the contest's anniversary.

10 finalists have been internally selected.
However, the top remaining 5 will also be chosen internally, but when that has been done - the voting lines
will be open for the public (you guys)
When edition 19 has ended and the next host country is known, the top 5 will have been
decided and the voting will immidiately start.

EDIT ALERT: Hexelbourg has taken the decision to let the national selection be fully open for public. Therefore, the voting line is now open. Top 5 will not be chosen internally, but instead be voted by the public as well. These are the two voting processes:

Thanks for the comments guys love you..

by the way, I've noticed that some people have submitted their votes already, as not supposed
But because of that, I have decided to....

For those who I mentioned about at the beginning, please give your votes to the bottom 5 songs as well and send again ~

Mina only listened to one second of each song, maybe two seconds if she liked it.

Haha, I was just going to say about that..

I know it sounds ridiculous, but right now as you will determe the preceeding 5 candidates, vote accoriding to the recap. Why? Because it's common that you all (including me) tend to not listen throughout every single song, it's true human nature haha

But if some of you want full links, ask me and I will post

SotA's votes have been sent ;D

SotA is obviously söta bror

LOL söta syster

UPDATE

I can say some little things about the current standings so far..

1. Top 5 is extremely obvious.

2. However, the points between the top 5 songs are really tight. But since top 5 now is quite clear, the 2nd phase of the voting round will furthermore be the most exciting round. It's really important for many of you to vote then, especially those who have participated in voting phase 1 already Most of you have very different 12's, so yeah.

Oh, and....there is one particular song I am shocked with, it's doing so well. I didn't know y'all liked that kind of music huh????? (unless you guys gave it 12 or 10 because it was the best of the worst songs lol...god T_T)

OKI.

THERE ARE TWO HOURS LEFT UNTIL TOP 5 WILL BE REVEALED.

WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE FINAL VOTING WILL BEGIN. ALL VOTERS FROM VOTING PROCESS 1 HAVE TO SUBMIT THEIR FINAL VOTES FOR TOP 5 AS WELL. Those who did not take part in selecting the top 5 songs, will NOT be allowed to submit votes of the final top 5.

You got two hours left to be accepted in deciding the final winner (for those who has yet to vote in phase 1)

Voting window for my final is closed.

Not everyone from voting process 1 voted in the final round, as supposed according to the rules after having casted their first votes. So, I had to use their votes from voting process 1, causing a different winner from SF. The point difference ended up in 2p.
